Re: Photo's sought of some KG 51 officers

Hello Chris,

Thank you for responding and the interesting details about those Kampfflieger. As you perhaps do remember: I am/was mainly focussed on the German nightfighting from 'my' airfield Venlo, so apart from some publications, my knowledge about the Kampfflieger is rather limited.

From the perspective that the Dutch airfields at Gilze-Rijen, Eindhoven, Volkel and Venlo were prepared for He111/V-1 operations (building of 3 Richthäuser at each airfield) I assembled the available data of He111/V-1 missions partly from Peter C. Smith's Doodlebug-publication, the flight log of Hans Jöhrdens, NVM's etc.
I also solved a long term mystery about two huge explosions on Venlo airfield in the night of 23/24 August 1944.

I welcome the idea to exchange info, the best way to do so is directly by email: I guess I have your mail address already and in case you have lost mine, it is marcelhogenhuis@gmail.com

Warm greetings from Venlo, Marcel
